Is Kylie Jenner 'Very Jealous' of Kim Kardashian? Timothée Chalamet Romance Allegedly 'Hasn't Helped' Acting Dreams

Kylie Jenner is reportedly struggling privately with Kim Kardashian's growing acting profile as the sisters pursue very different phases of their showbusiness ambitions, according to an insider account published this week.

The report centres on Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian, with the key claim being that Jenner, 28, has become jealous as Kardashian, 45, lines up more screen work while Jenner talks openly about wanting more roles after her brief appearance in The Moment.

Jenner recently told Vanity Fair that she wanted to pursue more acting following her cameo in Charli XCX's mockumentary, adding that she hoped to be the lead in an action movie. Kardashian, meanwhile, is already committed to further television work through Group Chat, the Hulu series created by Kenya Barris and developed under her first-look deal with 20th Television.

As the more pointed family claims come from an unnamed source, nothing is confirmed on the record and it should be treated with caution.

Kylie Jenner Eyes Kim Kardashian's Acting Rise

There is a certain family logic to the story, even if it comes wrapped in the usual anonymous sourcing. According to the report, Jenner had hoped her relationship with Timothée Chalamet might open doors in Hollywood, only to find that Kardashian was the sister pulling ahead when it came to actual projects.

It is the sort of rivalry the Kardashian business machine has always flirted with, polished on the surface and quietly ruthless underneath.​

The insider quoted in the report makes no attempt to soften the claim. 'Kylie is very jealous,' the source said, adding that 'Kardashian is working with major stars and securing one opportunity after another.'

The wording is stark, perhaps unusually so, but it captures the essence of the piece. One sister is still speaking in terms of ambition, while the other is already accumulating credits.

Jenner's acting ambitions are genuine. In her Vanity Fair interview, she said, 'I had already received a few scripts,' and suggested that comedy felt like a natural fit after a role she had effectively pitched to director Aidan Zamiri.

How Kim Kardashian Keeps Kylie Jenner Playing Catch-Up

Kardashian's advantage, at least in this account, is momentum. Reporting on Group Chat makes clear that she is not merely appearing in scripted television but actively developing projects under a formal studio deal. That distinction matters because it moves her beyond dabbling. In Hollywood terms, it is the difference between a guest spot and establishing a career lane.

The source behind the jealousy claim goes further, saying Jenner had been 'cocky' about what dating Chalamet would do for her career and discovered it 'really hasn't done much.'

The insider adds a sharper twist, claiming that Kim Kardashian knows acting is a sore point for Jenner and 'loves to rub it in.' The claim is striking. It shifts the story from simple sibling envy to something colder, suggesting Kardashian is not merely succeeding but taking pleasure in the fact that Jenner notices.

There is, of course, no direct comment from either sister in the material available. What can be confirmed is far more limited.

Jenner has publicly expressed a desire to act more following The Moment. Kardashian is attached to Group Chat through her wider television deal. Everything else — the jealousy, the gloating, the idea of one sister quietly needling the other — comes from the type of anonymous celebrity briefing that is often as self-serving as it is revealing.

Even so, unverified claims can carry a certain uncomfortable plausibility when they involve the right family. The Kardashians have built an empire on intimacy made public, competition turned marketable and private tension presented as content.
